2013 Lailey Unfiltered Cabernet Franc – ****+ – (Price TBD) – This is an elegant follow up to big 2012 vintage. This wine is made from a block of thirty year old vines and is only made in years that winemaker Derek Barnett feels worthy. There are layers of Raspberry, and Currant with smoke on the finish and to wrap up the whole package nice acidity kicks up the finish. It’s because of wines like this that I believe that the future of Ontario is Cabernet Franc. For food pairings I will let the photo speak for itself and pair this with homemade pizza (or roast beef, or burgers, or on it’s own)
